Registration Number
NCT02060240
Lead Sponsor
Oregon Health and Science University
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to see if a twelve-week exercise intervention in overweight or obese subjects with pre-diabetes or early disease course type 2 diabetes can lead to improved skeletal muscle capillary blood flow by improving substances that dilate blood vessels and result in improved insulin sensitivity.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Insulin mediated skeletal muslce blood flow and capillary recruitment3 months

Contrast enhanced ultrasound skeltal muscle perfusion imaging will be performed at rest and during glucose steady state infusion during an insulin clamp. The change in blood flow will be determined between the resting state and at peak steady state to determine the absolute increase in skeletal muslce blood flow (ml/min/g) as well as the absolute increase in capillary blood volume (ml/g) of tissue

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quantification of endothelial derived Vasodilators3 months

To quantify the changes in endothelial derived vasodilators. For this aim nitric oxide bioavailability as tested by flow mediated vasodilation will be performed and reported as absolute change (cm) and percent change (%) in brachial artery diameter from baseline to post ischemic occlusion of the forearm. Plasma samples for eicosanoids will be collected and assessed by liquid chormatography/mass spectroscopy to to assess changes in endothelial derived vasodilators.
